Santa is racist.

Lol nobody is buying ghetto Santa.

A new study revealed that Black women of African descent were the most likely to die during a devastating medieval plague.

Research of 145 bodies that were examined from three different London cemeteries found that there was a higher proportion of female people of color in plague burials compared to non-plague burials, according to the results of a Museum of London Study that was first published by the BBC.

"There is a significantly higher proportion of people of estimated African affiliation in the plague burials compared to the nonplague burials (18.4% vs. 8.3%)," the study reads. "For the female-only sample, individuals of estimated African population affinity have a significantly higher estimated hazard of dying of plague compared to those with estimated white European affinity. There are no significant associations for any of the other comparisons."

Researchers used data on bone and dental changes of the 145 people studied, using a forensic anthropological toolkit to determine whether bones were likely to have come from someone with African heritage.

....

The medieval plague, often referred to as the "Black Death," was an outbreak of disease across Asia and Europe that killed millions of people between 1348 and 1350.

While it is estimated that roughly 35,000 people in London died of the plague, the likelihood of death was greater for people already facing significant hardship, the study noted, arguing that part of the higher death rate for people of color was the result of the "devastating effects" of "premodern structural racism" during the time period of the plague.

...

"This research takes the deep dive into previous thinking about population diversity in medieval England based on primary sources," Hefner said. "Combining bioarchaeological method and theory with forensic anthropological methods permits a more nuanced analysis of this very important data."
...

"We have no primary written sources from people of color and those of Black African descent during the great pestilence of the 14th century, so archaeological research is essential to understanding more about their lives and experiences," Redfern said. "As with the recent COVID-19 pandemic, social and economic environment played a significant role in people's health and this is most likely why we find more people of color and those of black African descent in plague burials."

Ever notice that most commercials feature an inordinate number of black people? What I want to know is who coordinates these trends and why is everyone following them.

Inordinate is the understatement of the year, it's almost nothing but black people.

Blacks are 14% of the US population but when people are surveyed as to what they think the percentage is, the average response is 40% (people really are stupid and easily manipulated).

This is being done intentionally to support the systemic racism and white supremacy narrative. If people think nearly half the population is black, then everywhere where there are more whites than blacks it's by definition racism at work. In reality there's nearly five times as many whites as blacks in the US.

Were not allowed to talk about though, as simply noticing what's going on is also racist.

AMAZING: Higher ed declared these 72 things racist in 2023

Seventy-two!!!
In 2023 there were 72 things that higher ed declared racist — and these are just the things we're being made aware of. I'm sure if we could spy on everyone like Google does we'd have like 720 items on this list.

Let's start with a few which popped up on here at Not The Bee:

The American Medical Association now says BMI is racist and you might think this is a joke but I assure you, they are dead serious
First, they told us that exercising was White Supremacy, so I guess it shouldn't be a total shock that we ended up here.

CMT pulls Jason Aldean "Try That In A Small Town" video because it's racist or something
Par for the course right here.

Yes, the outdoors became racist in 2023 because apparently white people aren't scared of water.

If you think math isn't racist you're part of the problem. 2+2 only sometimes equals four — what, are you in the KKK or something?
